Elevers syn på vårdnadshavares inflytande över gymnasievalet : En kvalitativ jämförelsestudie om elevers uppfattningar av vårdnadshavares inverkan

Petersson, Johan January 2022 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka och få en djupare förståelse för hur elever upplever att vårdnadshavare inverkar på elevernas gymnasieval. Samt utforska på vilket sätt eleverna utifrån deras kulturella bakgrunder liknar varandra samt vilka olikheter som finns dom emellan. Sex stycken kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes på två olika grundskolor med elever i årskurs 9 med olika bakgrunder. Till hjälp av analysarbetet användes tidigare forskning inom ämnet men även teorierna från Pierre Bourdieu om habitus, klass och kapitalformer samt Hodkinson och Sparkes Careership teori. Resultatet visar att eleverna blir påverkade av sina vårdnadshavare i stor utsträckning. Det visar skillnader elevgrupperna emellan men också likheter kring definitionen av begreppet påverkansfaktor vilket i detta fall varit vårdnadshavares påverkan till största del. I analys och resultatdelen påvisas det även att eleverna blivit mera påverkade av sina vårdnadshavare än vad dom själva ville erkänna. / The purpose of this study was to investigate and gain a deeper understanding for how students feel that guardians affects the student’s choice of upper secondary school. As well as explore in which way the students, based on their cultural backgrounds, are similar and what differences there are between them. 6 qualitative interviews were conducted at two different primary schools with students in year 9 who have different backgrounds. With the help of the analysis work, previous research was used within the subject but also the theories from Pierre Bourdieu on habitus, class and forms of capital as well as Hodkinson and Sparke’s careership theory. The result largely show that the students are influenced by their guardians to a large extent. But that there are differences between the student groups but also similarities around the definition of the concept of influence factor, which in these cases has been guardian’s influence for the most part. The study also shows that students are more affected than they thought they were.

Le vélo au féminin : déterminants et pratiques cyclistes dans les perspectives des femmes de Montréal et de Belo Horizonte

Dutra Dias Viola, Priscilla 03 1900 (has links)
Les caractéristiques environnementales, dont celles reliées au cadre bâti et qui correspondent notamment à la présence et au type d’infrastructures disponibles, sont considérées comme facteurs déterminants pour la pratique du vélo. Leur influence peut toutefois varier selon les individus (en fonction du genre, de l’âge, etc.) ainsi que selon les contextes socioculturels spécifiques. Menée dans une perspective comparative et avec une méthodologie mixte (quantitative et qualitative), cette recherche explore les expériences vécues des jeunes femmes de deux grandes villes, soit Montréal (Canada) et de Belo Horizonte (Brésil), dont la participation parmi les cyclistes est très contrastée, allant respectivement de moins de 10 % à 48 % , pour répondre la question suivante : Quelles sont les pratiques et les facteurs déterminants du vélo chez les jeunes femmes dans ces deux contextes urbains ? La recherche adopte une approche écologique et, dans sa composante qualitative, prend appui sur l’analyse de 46 entrevues semi-dirigées (28 à Montréal et 18 à Belo Horizonte) menées auprès de femmes cyclistes âgées entre 18 et 35 ans. En complément, plusieurs analyses quantitatives des données des enquêtes Origine Destination 2012 (Belo Horizonte), 2013 et 2018 (Montréal) ont été réalisées, en plus d'autres analyses basées sur les données géoréférencées du Système de classification du confort et de la sécurité des voies cyclables canadiennes (Can-BICS). Lors des entretiens, les participantes ont partagé leurs points de vue sur le contexte spatial dans lequel elles font du vélo, les avantages et les inconvénients du cyclisme, ainsi que les conflits et les peurs auxquels elles sont confrontées. L’analyse de leurs témoignages a permis de mettre en évidence des tensions entre les stéréotypes liés au genre et l'image véhiculée socialement à l’égard des femmes cyclistes. Le sentiment d’insécurité routière s’est avéré particulièrement important pour la pratique du vélo dans la perspective des interviewées. À Belo Horizonte, les participantes envisagent le déploiement d’infrastructures en site propre (pistes cyclables) comme condition à l’amélioration de leur sentiment de sécurité pendant leurs déplacements ; à Montréal, ce sont davantage les caractéristiques spécifiques de telles infrastructures (largeur, éclairage, type de chaussée, etc.) qui sont considérées comme conditions à des déplacements plus sécuritaires et confortables. Sur la base de ces témoignages et en croissant des données de la plus récente enquête Origine Destination et des données Can-BICS, il a été possible d'analyser une hypothèse de relation entre la sécurité et le confort des infrastructures cyclables et la pratique du cyclisme féminin à Montréal. Cette évaluation a montré que les secteurs de la ville où il y a une plus grande concentration d'infrastructures cyclables de grand confort sont aussi les endroits où l’écart entre les femmes et les homes est moindre à l’égard du nombre de déplacements à vélo. À la lumière de ces résultats, un modèle écologique original est proposé, pouvant servir de cadre pour évaluer les facteurs qui influencent la pratique du vélo chez les femmes lors de recherches futures. En explorant ainsi les facteurs et leur niveau d’influence sur le cyclisme féminin, cette recherche contribue à une meilleure compréhension des défis contemporains de la promotion du vélo dans une perspective de genre et globale. / Environmental characteristics, including those related to the built environment, which correspond to the presence and type of available infrastructure, are considered determining factors for the use of bicycles. Its influence may, however, vary between individuals (depending on gender, age, etc.) or specific sociocultural contexts. Conducted from a comparative perspective and with a mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative), this research explores the lived experiences of young women from two large cities, Montreal (Canada) and Belo Horizonte (Brazil), whose participation among cyclists is very contrasting, ranging from less than 10% to 48% respectively, to answer the following question: What are the practices and determinants of cycling among young women in these two cities? The research adopts an ecological approach and, in its qualitative component, is based on the analysis of 46 semi-structured interviews (28 in Montreal and 18 in Belo Horizonte) conducted with female cyclists between the ages of 18 and 35. In addition, several quantitative analyzes from the Origin Destination 2012 (Belo Horizonte), 2013 and 2018 (Montreal) surveys were carried out, in addition to other analyzes based on georeferenced data from the Canadian Bikeway Comfort and Safety Classification System (Can-BICS). During the interviews, the participants shared their views on the spatial context in which they cycle, the pros and cons of cycling, and the conflicts and fears they face. The analysis of their testimonies has highlighted the tensions between gender stereotypes and the socially conveyed image of women cyclists. The feeling of road insecurity proved to be particularly important for the practice of cycling from the perspective of the interviewees. In Belo Horizonte, the participants envisage the deployment of infrastructure on their own site (cycle paths) as a condition for improving their feeling of safety during their travels; in Montreal, it is the specific characteristics of such infrastructures (width, lighting, pavement type, etc.) that are considered to be conditions for a safer and more comfortable travel. Based on these testimonies, the data from the most recent Origin Destination survey, and Can-BICS data, it was possible to analyze a hypothesis of relation between the safety and comfort of cycling infrastructures and the practice of female cycling in Montreal. This evaluation showed that the sectors of the city where there is a greater concentration of comfortable cycling infrastructure are also the places where the gap between women and men is smaller in terms of the number of bicycle trips. In light of these results, an original ecological model is proposed, which can serve as a framework to evaluate the factors that influence cycling among women in future research. By exploring the factors and their level of influence on women's cycling, this research contributes to a better understanding of the contemporary challenges of promoting cycling from a gender and global perspective. / As características ambientais, incluindo as relacionadas com o ambiente construído, e que correspondem nomeadamente à presença e tipo de infraestruturas disponíveis, são consideradas fatores determinantes para a utilização da bicicleta. A sua influência pode, no entanto, variar entre indivíduos (dependendo do gênero, idade etc.) ou contextos socioculturais específicos. Realizada a partir de uma perspectiva comparativa e com metodologia mista (quantitativa e qualitativa), esta pesquisa explora as experiências vividas por mulheres jovens de duas grandes cidades, Montreal (Canadá) e Belo Horizonte (Brasil), cuja participação entre os ciclistas é muito contrastante, variando de menos de 10% a 48%, respectivamente, para responder à seguinte questão: Quais são as práticas e determinantes do ciclismo entre as mulheres jovens destas duas cidades? A pesquisa adota abordagem de uma metodologia ecológica e, em seu componente qualitativo, baseia-se na análise de 46 entrevistas semiestruturadas (28 em Montreal e 18 em Belo Horizonte) realizadas com mulheres ciclistas com idades entre 18 e 35 anos. Além disso, foram realizadas diversas análises quantitativas de dados das pesquisas Origem Destino 2012 (Belo Horizonte), 2013 e 2018 (Montreal), além de outras análises baseadas em dados georreferenciados do Sistema de Classificação de Conforto e Segurança das Ciclovias Canadenses (Can -BICS). Durante as entrevistas, as participantes partilharam as suas opiniões sobre o contexto espacial em que pedalam, os prós e os contras da utilização da bicicleta e os conflitos e medos que enfrentam. A análise dos seus depoimentos destacou as tensões entre os estereótipos de gênero e a imagem socialmente transmitida das mulheres ciclistas. O sentimento de insegurança viária mostrou-se particularmente importante para a prática do ciclismo na perspectiva das entrevistadas. Em Belo Horizonte, as participantes vislumbram a implantação de infraestrutura de ciclovias como condição para melhorar sua sensação de segurança durante seus deslocamentos; em Montreal, são as características específicas dessas infraestruturas (largura, iluminação, tipo de pavimento etc.) que são consideradas como condições para uma viagem mais segura e confortável. Com base nestes testemunhos, nos dados da mais recente pesquisa Origem Destino, e nos dados Can-BICS, foi possível analisar uma hipótese de correlação entre a segurança e o conforto das infraestruturas cicloviárias e a prática do ciclismo feminino em Montreal. Esta avaliação mostrou que os setores da cidade onde há maior concentração de infraestruturas cicloviárias confortáveis são também os locais onde a disparidade entre mulheres e homens é menor no que diz respeito ao número de viagens de bicicleta. À luz destes resultados, é proposto um modelo ecológico original, que pode servir de estrutura para avaliar os fatores que influenciam o ciclismo entre as mulheres em pesquisas futuras. Ao explorar os fatores e o seu nível de influência no ciclismo feminino, esta investigação contribui para uma melhor compreensão dos desafios contemporâneos da promoção do ciclismo numa perspectiva de gênero e global.

Selected factors significantly influencing net equity value in the South African household's statement of financial position

Combrink, Hermanus Adriaan 11 1900 (has links)
It is twenty-one years since South Africa’s democracy and the majority of South African households can still be classified as poor, despite the various interventions by Government to reduce poverty and inequality. The measurement used to determine the financial status of a household at a given point in time is its net equity in accordance with its Statement of Financial Position, calculated as its assets owned less liabilities owed. This study aimed to identify the selected significant factors that affect a South African household’s net equity value. In order to achieve the aim of this study, a heuristic model consisting of two components was developed. The first component considered which assets and liabilities should be included in determining a household’s net equity and how these assets and liabilities should be valued. The second component identified the selected factors that influence a household’s net equity. The heuristic model was applied to the empirical data using three phases. Firstly, the net equity value was calculated for each household. This was followed by an analysis of the selected factors that significantly influence household net equity. The last phase was performed to determine the effect of the identified selected factors in explaining the difference between households that have above average net equity values and those having below average values. The results of the study indicated that 11 selected factors significantly influence the net equity value in the South African household’s Statement of Financial Position. Seven of those factors significantly explain between 28,3 percent and 38,1 percent of the differences in the net equity value of a household when comparing the households with above average net equity value with those with below average values. This is useful information for policy makers in identifying the selected factors that will most significantly increase the net equity value of a household with a net equity value below the South African average. / Centre for Accounting Studies / M.

What Does it Take to Get your Attention? : The influence of In-Store and Out-of-Store Factors on Visual Attention and Decision Making for Fast-moving Consumer Goods

Shams, Poja January 2013 (has links)
Decision making for fast-moving consumer goods involves a choice between numerous similar alternatives. Under such demanding circumstances, a decision is made for one product. The decision is dependent on the interaction between the environment and the mind of the consumer, both of which are filled with information that can influence the outcome. The aim of this dissertation is to explore how the mind and the environment guides attention towards considered and chosen products in consumer decision making at the point-of-purchase. Consumers are equipped with several effort reduction strategies to simplify complex decision making. The selection of strategies can be conscious or automatic and driven by information in the environment or the mind of the decision maker. The selected decision strategy reduces the set of options to one alternative in an iterative process of comparisons that are fast and rely on perceptual cues to quickly exclude irrelevant products. This thesis uses eye-tracking to explore this rapid processing that lacks conscious access or control. The purpose is to explore how product packaging and placement (as in-store factors), and recognition, preferences, and choice task (as out-of-store factors) influence the decision-making process through visual attention. The results of the 10 experiments in the five papers that comprise this thesis shed new light on the role of visual attention in the interaction between the environment and the mind, and its influence on the consumer. It is said that consumers choose with their eyes, which means that unseen is unsold. The results of this thesis show that it is just as important to be comprehended as it is to be seen. In split-second decision making, the ability to recognize and comprehend a product can significantly impact preferences. Comprehension stretches beyond perception as consumers infer value from memory structures that influence attention. Hence, the eye truly sees what the mind is prepared to comprehend.

Prognose von Immobilienwerten / Forecasting of real estate values. Expert survey as forecasting technique.

Steinbrecher, Diana 22 August 2017 (has links) (PDF)
Der tatsächliche Erfolg einer Immobilieninvestition wird maßgeblich von der zukünftigen Entwicklung des wirtschaftlichen Umfeldes bestimmt. Im Rahmen einer Immobilieninvestition sind für Investoren z. B. die zukünftigen Mieteinnahmen oder die allgemeine Wertentwicklung der Immobilie entscheidend. Da jedoch Entscheidungen in der Immobilienwirtschaft langfristiger Natur sind, kommt der Zukunftsorientiertheit und des damit verbundenen Risikos eine große Bedeutung zu. Die Entstehung von Immobilienzyklen kann nicht nur mit realen und monetären Fundamentaldaten (z. B. Bruttoinlandsprodukt, Zinsentwicklung) erklärt werden, sondern auch mit psychologischen Faktoren, wie beispielsweise Erwartungen und Einstellungen der Marktteilnehmer. Da mathematisch-statistische Prognoseverfahren diese Komponente nur unzureichend abbilden können, soll die Dissertation einen Beitrag zur Erforschung der Expertenbefragung als Prognoseinstrument darstellen. Ein weiterer Grund besteht darin, dass in der bisher veröffentlichten Fachliteratur der Expertenbefragung als Prognoseverfahren nur eine geringe oder gar keine Bedeutung beigemessen wurde. Ziel ist es herauszustellen, ob und unter welchen Voraussetzungen und Bedingungen Expertenbefragungen zur Prognose von Immobilienwerten geeignet sind und ob die Kombination der Ergebnisse der Expertenbefragungen mit den Ergebnissen mathematisch-statistischer Prognoseverfahren eine Erhöhung der Prognosegenauigkeit ermöglicht. Hierzu wird die zukünftige Entwicklung verschiedener Immobilienwerte für 2 bis 3 Jahre und für 5 Jahre durch Expertenumfragen und mit Hilfe ausgewählter mathematisch-statistischer Prognoseverfahren prognostiziert. Um die Güte der Expertenschätzungen beurteilen zu können, werden die Prognoseergebnisse mit der tatsächlichen Entwicklung und mit den Ergebnissen der mathematisch-statistischen Prognoseverfahren verglichen. In einer abschließenden Gegenüberstellung sollen Aussagen darüber getroffen werden, ob Expertenbefragungen für Prognosezwecke geeignet sind. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auch auf psychologischen Aspekten bzw. endogenen und exogenen Einflussgrößen, welche sich auf das Antwortverhalten der Experten auswirken können. Ziel ist es deshalb weiterhin, eine Handlungsempfehlung für die Durchführung von Expertenbefragungen - speziell für die Abgabe von mehrjährigen Trends und auch für Zwecke der Verkehrswertermittlung - zu geben.

Das E-Lastenrad als Alternative im städtischen Wirtschaftsverkehr. Determinanten der Nutzung eines „neuen alten“ Fahrzeugkonzepts

Gruber, Johannes 05 March 2021 (has links)
Elektrifizierte Lastenfahrräder werden als ein Lösungsansatz für die wachsenden Herausforderungen des städtischen Wirtschaftsverkehrs gesehen. Fokus dieser Arbeit ist eine Abschätzung des Einsatzpotenzials dieses Fahrzeugkonzepts unter Betrachtung von konzeptionellen, verkehrlichen und wirtschaftlichen Aspekten. Als kumulative Dissertation enthält sie fünf Fachartikel, gruppiert zu drei Forschungsbeiträgen. Im ersten Forschungsbeitrag wird erörtert, wie erfolgversprechend das E-Lastenrad, eine Neuauflage des alten Konzepts Lastenfahrrad, in einem Markt mit ersten Anwendern (Kurierdienstleistung) ist. Die Auftragsstruktur im Stadtkuriergeschäft bietet ein substanzielles Marktpotenzial für E-Lastenräder, allerdings erschwert die Positionierung zwischen zwei etablierten Modi (Pkw und Fahrrad) den Markteintritt. Der zweite Teil der Analyse weitet den Blick auf alle Branchen und bietet eine strukturierte Beschreibung der verschiedenartigen Einflussfaktoren (Treiber und Hemmnisse), die auf die Lastenradnutzung im städtischen Wirtschaftsverkehr wirken. Als relevante Entscheidungskriterien konnten identifiziert werden: fahrzeugseitige Aspekte, Strukturen und Prozesse des adoptierenden Unternehmens, Einstellungen der Entscheider*innen, weiche Faktoren sowie regulative und räumliche Rahmenbedingungen. Der dritte Beitrag thematisiert die operative Eignung des E-Lastenrads, indem seine Fahrtzeiten einem Pkw gegenübergestellt werden. Bei Strecken bis zu 3 km sind beide Modi nahezu gleich schnell. Die Hälfte aller Fahrten bis 20 km Distanz würde bei einem Wechsel vom Pkw zum Lastenrad höchstens 2–10 min länger dauern (ohne Berücksichtigung der Parksuchzeit). Bereits kleine Änderungen an den Verkehrsbedingungen könnten noch bestehende Vorteile des Pkw spürbar verringern. Insgesamt erweitert die Arbeit maßgeblich das Wissen zu einem „neuen alten“ Fahrzeugkonzept, dem ein Potenzial zur Auflösung von bislang auf das Automobil hin ausgerichteten Systemen beigemessen wird. / Shifting trips to electric cargo bikes is one possible solution to deal with the growing challenges of urban commercial transport. This thesis combines conceptual, transport-related, and economic aspects as a foundation to assess the feasibility of this vehicle concept for freight and service trips. It contains five scientific papers, which provide three research contributions. The first contribution identifies the potentials of electric cargo bikes among first users (i.e., courier logistics services). Electric cargo bikes are an updated and re-envisioned version of freight bicycles. The features of point-to-point courier logistics assignments offer a substantial market opportunity for electric cargo bikes. However, being positioned between two established modes (i.e., car and bicycle) handicaps the market entry of cargo bikes. For the second contribution, the scope was widened to include all business sectors. A structured description is presented of the various determinants (i.e., drivers and barriers) affecting commercial cargo bike use. Among these were vehicle-specific factors, structures and practices of the company, attitudes of decision-makers, soft factors, regulatory frameworks, and spatial conditions. The third contribution explores the travel time differences between electric cargo bikes and cars for commercial trips. For trip distances of up to 3 kilometers, the travel times of both modes largely overlap. Half of all trips up to 20 kilometers would take only a maximum of 2 to 10 minutes longer by electric cargo bike (excluding the additional time for finding a parking spot). Small modifications in traffic could have considerable effects in reducing the current travel time advantages of cars. Consequently, this dissertation contributes towards the state-of-research by expanding the scientific knowledge of a type of vehicle that has the potential to disrupt car-dependent transportation systems.
